Google Calendar API - Unable to set Event Organizer

I am using Google Calendar JAVA API. I am able to create an Event with 'hangoutsMeet' option successfully.

Problem : I am not able to set Organizer with API Request.

Default : By Default API Key owner ( From the G Suit account API key has been authorized ) is a Organizer.

If I do not able to set Organizer using API, entire solution of creating Google Event with 'Hangout Meet' video option will not work, as without organizer who will approve the Participant.

I have use following code, however it seems not working. Do I missing anything ?

    CreateConferenceRequest createRequest = new CreateConferenceRequest();
    ConferenceSolutionKey conferenceSolutionKey_ = new ConferenceSolutionKey();
    conferenceSolutionKey_.setType("hangoutsMeet");

    createRequest.setConferenceSolutionKey(conferenceSolutionKey_);
    createRequest.setRequestId(UUID.randomUUID().toString());

    EventAttendee[] attendees = new EventAttendee[] {
            new EventAttendee().setEmail("[email protected]"),
            new EventAttendee().setEmail("[email protected]"),
            new EventAttendee().setEmail("[email protected]"),
        };

    Organizer organizer = new Organizer();
    organizer.setDisplayName("XYZ");
    organizer.setEmail("[email protected]");
    organizer.setSelf(false);
    event_.setOrganizer(organizer);

In order to set an organizer who is not the creator itself, you will have to transfer the event to the new organizer's calendar. As you can read in the docs:

To change the organizer, use the move operation. Read-only, except when importing an event.

To do so in Java you can use this method:

Event updateEvent = service.events().move(yourCalendarId, event_.getId(), "[email protected]").execute();

Be sure you have the permission to edit the new organizer's event.
